Born in Shiga, Japan, Dragon76’s artwork is heavily based on street art, with passion and energy. “It touches our soul” and constantly evolving.

The concept of his art style is the “coexistence” of two opposites such as past and future, stillness and motion, evil and justice; which caught the eye of gallery founder, set free and quickly connected the two.

Compound will host a show exhibiting Dragon76’s art work both new and old, along with a live mural installation displaying his progressive artistic style on the outside walls of the gallery in Bronx.

The Compound Gallery, a creative space founded by cultural ambassador and creator of the AND1 Mixtapes, Set Free, is a place where art, music, fashion, and sports are fused, inspiring an atmosphere of innovation.

The space serves as an adult playground for work, curated events, and meetings of the minds; where various artistic people come together to sharpen each-other and give life to imagination.

Compound Gallery is an extension of the creative space, opened last year. This new, raw, space, in partnership with Yasiin Bey, a.k.a. Mos Def, will serve as an outlet for all forms of art, rental space, and activations.

Featuring two main gallery spaces with built-in skylights, a private curated VIP room and a spacious window front for displays and installations.
